Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 36

"I... I didn't mean it like that." Jamie's face instantly flushed red.

She took a deep breath to steady her emotions and returned to her usual shy demeanor. Her head was lowered like an ostrich trying to bury itself in the sand. Teddy peeked out from behind. "I think something's off."

Jamie frowned. Did he not believe Lila's words?

"My idol doesn't seem like she's dating Dorian.

"They look close, but it doesn't seem like they're in a romantic relationship. Something feels off."

Jamie wanted him to stay quiet. "You've never been in a relationship. What do you know?"

"Wait, Jamie, I think you've suddenly developed a new talent for arguing. How are you insulting people with such soft words?"

Lila glanced at them and smiled. These two were quite the characters.

Meanwhile, Teddy was unaffected and asked suspiciously, "You love spicy food, right? This is just a mild spice. Why are you reacting like this?"

Jamie was left speechless.
